A ticketing system is to be introduced to allow supporters to buy tickets online ahead of all matches at Mariners Park.

The new system is now live on the club’s website and can be accessed by clicking here. Tickets for the South Shields FC International Tournament are now available to buy from there. At this stage, tickets for the tournament are available online only, with tickets to be available from Mariners Park at a later date.

Supporters will receive an e-ticket via email on completion of their order, which they will show on arrival at the ground.

The turnstile operators will scan in the barcode via a handheld scanner to allow admittance to the ground.

Those who arrive at the ground and wish to pay on the gate will receive a ticket at the dedicated turnstile when they pay the entrance fee.

Each ticket will have its own unique barcode and once scanned in, it will not be allowed entrance again.

All new season tickets will also have their own unique bar codes, with the name and package of each season ticket holder printed on the back. These will be ready to collect in July.

As well as tickets, supporters will also be able to book hospitality and sponsorship via our website and book the function rooms.

The club hopes the system will make the matchday booking system much easier for supporters.
